I use Hot Pepper Wax spray (made from the concentrate) to control aphids and it works pretty well. My question is, why is that my container with Black Cherry tomatoes is attracting an inordinate number of aphids compared with all the others? All but four of my 40 tomato plants were started by me from seeds, and the BC is one of the ones that I started. It seems very odd. Even the plants to either side of BC (which is on the deck) have virtually no aphids.
